Positively Positive Review – Lie To Me: Black Friday
by Mokibobolink on Nov.17, 2009, under Crime, Drama, Television
Tim Roth and Kelli Williams with guest star Daniel Ross in Lie To Me, season 2, episode 7 “Black Friday”
This episode started out with something that is so scary to me, I could barely watch. A crowd goes out of control in front of an electronics store on “Black Friday” and people end up trampled to death. As it turns out, this part of the story mostly plays out in the background, while another case takes up most of the spotlight.
Putting Tim Roth into funny hats, etc., seems to be a theme recently. Earlier this season found him in a big floppy hat and this episode started out with him in a frilly apron. This guy has proven that he’s such a serious actor but sometimes it’s really fun to laugh at him too.
In this episode, a 16yr old boy ends up quite literally on Lightman’s doorstep, asking for help to find out who his real parents are. The rest of the episode, Lightman and Foster work to solve that mystery, coming up with more than a few possible parents. The boy’s real father is found but rather than being happy, he is upset with finding out that his “real” parents are far from the ideal he had envisioned. In the end, the boy learns to accept the man for who he is and starts a new life with not only the people who raised him but the father he was taken from in the first place.
All the while, Loker and Torres work on the Black Friday case. Turns out Lightman was using it as a test for Loker and the moment he tells the truth, costing the Lightman Group over a million in the process, he passes.
Overall a good family themed episode just in time for Thanksgiving.
